Clusters are groups of three to four dorms with which students would be affiliated at least until their junior year.

The committee also proposed having housing reserved for first-year students.

Some students questioned the amount of influence that their peers had on the committee relative to campus administrators.

Though Mary R. McVeigh, a Dartmouth first year student, said that administrators have taken the time to talk with students, she said she wished her peers had had more influence on the committee's recommendations.

"[The committee] made a big deal about how they referred to student opinion, but it seems as if they disregarded that opinion and went along with what they wanted anyway," McVeigh said.

Upon the report's release, students independently formed a Student Response Task Force, which plans to submit its own report to Dartmouth's board of trustees at least a week before an April 14 trustee meeting.

The trustees will decide whether to turn the Committee's recommendations into campus law.
